He said,''a typical day? I wake up at quarter to seven in the morning, the baby wakes at seven, the boys wake up at 7.15. Breakfast is all ready for them. Cooked by me.'' ''They all like different things. My oldest son likes croissants with jam on them, my middle son, Romeo, he loves fruit, he loves mango or pineapple. Cruz loves Nutella on a croissant.
